Situation
Poundbury is an urban development of the County Town of Dorchester and is King Charles iii’s vision of the development of new communities in the 21st century. It is designed to be a sustainable development where it is possible to meet a higher proportion of daily needs on foot, rather than relying upon a car. Within walking distance to the property there is a plethora of amenities including Waitrose, The Duchess of Cornwall Hotel and Restaurant and an ever-growing range of bistros, coffee shops, beauty salons, shops, hairdressers, dentists, medical centre, nearby garden centre and the highly regarded Damers First School. The Great Field is a short walk away and offers a wonderful open space. A Monart luxury spa is situated within the Royal Pavilion, Queen Mother Square and the Dorset County Hospital is also nearby.
Nearby, Dorchester, the historic county town of Dorset, is rich in Roman heritage, with sites like the Dorset County Museum and Maiden Castle offering glimpses into its past. It is also well known for its literary connections to Thomas Hardy and set amongst beautiful rural countryside. Dorchester offers shopping and social facilities with cinemas, museums, leisure centre and weekly market. There are many excellent restaurants, public houses and riverside walks. The catchment schools are highly regarded and doctor’s, dentist surgeries and the Dorset County Hospital are close by. There are train links to London Waterloo, Bristol Temple Meads, Weymouth and other coastal towns and villages, and regular bus routes to adjoining towns. Brewery Square is set within the heart of Dorchester and is a vibrant area offering further shopping and eating facilities with a central open space hosting several events throughout the year.
Key Features
Entrance to this lovely home is via wooden door through to the lobby, a perfect spot for storage of outdoor wear. A door leads to the hallway where there is tiled flooring with underfloor heating that continues throughout the ground floor.
The triple-aspect kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a stylish range of wall and base level units in white with granite worksurfaces over and tiled splash back. Integral appliances include a fridge-freezer, dishwasher and a six-burner gas/electric aga. French doors open directly to the garden. A separate utility room provides further worksurface, access to a separate WC, and further double doors give access to the garden. Completing the ground floor is a second, front aspect reception room, a flexible space currently used as a snug.
Stairs rise to the first floor and lead to the generous sitting room, a dual aspect living space, featuring a central fireplace and access onto a balcony to the rear which extends the full width of the property. The principal bedroom also has access to the balcony, and is furnished with two fitted wardrobes and a spacious ensuite. The floor is completed with a useful study.
The second floor has three further bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room. The family bathroom has a panel enclosed bath with shower, WC, hand basin set within a vanity unit. The room is finished with stylish and attractive tiling.
The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped, combining areas of lawn with well-maintained flower beds and inviting patio spaces. To the front, a gated, shingled driveway leads to a detached double garage with single up and over door, offering off-road parking and storage. There is a further pedestrian side door to access.
